For me it does not work if I use multiblend.exe @test.txt instead of multiblend.exe --argfile=test.txt on Windows. AFAIK on Linux you can do this with some other syntax (I'm not so familiar with Linux). But building something like an --argfile option into Multiblend has the other advantage that is works OS independent.
I have stitched nearly 1 GPixels with Multiblend in about 6 minutes. It's super fast. Thanks @ Monkey ! The maximum memory usage was about 24 GBytes. My photos would allow to stitch it to about 10 GPixels, but due to my RAM (64 GBytes) I will probably only be able to stitch about 2 - 2.5 GPixels. Monkey schrieb am Donnerstag, 1.
